N2  - This paper presents the development of an analytical model of steel-concrete partially composite beams subjected to fire. The model includes consideration of temperature dependent material properties, temperature dependent interface slip between concrete and steel, non-uniform temperature distributions throughout the cross-section and the effect of different rates of thermal expansion at the concrete-steel interface. Model predictions showed good agreement with the results of fire tests on two composite beams reported in an earlier companion paper as well as with limited experimental data published in literature. An extensive parametric study was undertaken by using the proposed model. Parameters considered in this study included geometric dimensions of the composite beam, material grades of steel and concrete, shear connection ratio, reinforcing steel ratio in the concrete slab, and load level on the beam. The parametric study clearly shows that shear connection ratio and load level significantly influence the fire performance of partially composite beams. The critical temperatures with shear connection ratio of 50%, 75% and 100% are 645°C, 602°C and 548°C, respectively, under load level of 0.6. The critical temperatures under load ratio of 0.5, 0.6 and 0.7 are 468°C, 553°C and 633°C respectively, with a shear connection ratio of 50%.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
